Ali Zafar wants government to impose lockdown in Lahore

Islamabad (online): As coronavirus cases continue to rise, singer Ali Zafar has requested the government to impose a lockdown in Lahore to prevent spread of the disease. Ali urged Prime Minister Imran Khan and Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar to impose a 15-day lockdown in the provincial capital because the city has become a hot spot for coronavirus. Taking to Twitter, the singer said the increasing number of infections are putting unbearable pressure on the healthcare system. "Dear PM @ImranKhanPTI, CM @UsmanAKBuzdar Urging you to consider locking down Lahore for 15 days at least as the entire city has become a hot spot for the virus itself with appx 2 million people infected & growing exponentially putting unbearable pressure on the healthcare system," he tweeted.
